reactions and expectations

The state farmers' association enthusiastically welcomed Middle Cities. Farmers' President Henrik Wendorff emphasized that with her a minister "with a stable smell" was appointed at the top of the ministry, which laid the foundation for substantial cooperation. Her decision has recently also been supported by the members of Pro Agro, who would like to continue to see in their management position, despite their state mandate, which she will start from the end of March to succeed the SPD MP Inka Goosmann-Reetz. Kai Rückewold, Managing Director of Pro Agro, was positive about medium -sized reliability and special commitment. pro agro sees the ideal cast for a continuous development of the organization.

The appointment of Hanka Mittelstädt is not cheered on all sides. The Brandenburg climate alliance expressed concerns and criticized a "close integration with agricultural industrial interests", which in her opinion could endanger the promotion of sustainable land use. These different voices show that the new minister faces challenges while trying to shape agricultural policy in Brandenburg and at the same time bring the interests of different groups under one roof. rbb24 reported on the reactions of their upcoming appointment and the associated expectations.
